VERY poor Blutooth range compared to Sony STRDH90
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not sure this receiver deserves only a 1*, but the only reason I bought it was for the Blutooth function. I wanted to warn others that wanted for the same reason. Reviewers here say range is good-very good, they have not tried the Sony. I was excited to buy this unit, I was using an old school receiver with a Sony BM10 receiver plugged into the CD RCA ports. It worked very well, but was too many steps to connect & get up & going. I wanted an all-in-1. Testing the Yamaha, I put my phone line of sight about 20 feet away. When I walked between the phone & receiver, it would cut-out. Taking the phone around the corner of the house, it would cut out. This was unacceptable as my BM10 NEVER was this rangebound. I went back to the search engine & came across the Sony STR DH190 for the same price. It was in stock at a nearby BB. I took a chance because I had such good luck with my BM10. This Sony has MEGA range! Guessing, I would say 5-10 times better than the Yamaha. Left my phone out in the garage over 50 ft. away, closed the door behind me & music is playing FLAWLESSLY. Buy the Sony if you are streaming blutooth.

Didn’t work.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The receiver was DOA…wired it up,…nothing. Best Buy was excellent however on the purchase and subsequent return process. Sometimes you get a dud. This time I did, but BB handled it.

60’s kid
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very thing works well but not quite enough power. I have 2 fairly large yamaha studio monitors. It takes all 100 watts per channel to run them. If you had todays smaller speAkers it might be enough power. Not sure

Very poor performer
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am clueless how any one could rate this higher than 1 star. It says 100w per channel. No possible way is this a 200w receiver, absolutely not. I had to keep the volume cranked very high. Also, no bass of any kind, even at max. And there are no balance controls. You are stuck with the default levels. =-=-=-= This is being returned.

OK for the money.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.200W may be stretching the numbers....bass response is weak. Phono requires purchase of a separate pre-amp. Best to buy a separate bass boost also.

Thought it would have lasted longer
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Lasted 4 years before it started cutting off intermittently. Thought Yamaha was a good brand, didn't deliver the quality.

If you like to listen music on the loud side
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.On the 3rd one in less than 6 months. Hi, Belinda This is the 3rd on I have received. The 1st one did the same thing within 3 months. Took it back gave me another one plugged it in nothing, took it back gave me the one you have and again the same thing. One of the salesperson said that the 7th one that did the same thing once in the store out of the box. My question is is this going to fix it and what boards are you replacing and what would be the cause for this to happen ? The tech responded to me- he had ordered Main Amplifier board & 2 output transistors, he states this is common problem with model R-S202BL, he goes on to explain that this model is delicate and once the volume is turned to a higher/highest volume it blows out the receiver. I hope that answered your questions. Thank you
